AMD Ryzen 5 5600 vs. i5-12400 & 5600X CPU Review & Benchmarks
It performs very similarly to 5600X while costing less and both 12400 and 5600 perform about the same with some wins for Intel and some wins for AMD. So typically it will come down to the price of the rest of the components. If you are on an older AMD board, it will be better to upgrade to this than to spend money in a entirely new platform. Intel could also have issues with finding DDR4 motherboards and DDR5 is still very expensive.
